%X Although many studies have examined the importance of parental configuration for Latinx students¡¯ educational attainment, few have considered the longitudinal impact of one versus two-parent households on Latinx children¡¯s educational attainment. This article employs intersectionality as a theoretical framework and utilizes a nationally representative sample from the National Center for Education Statistics¡¯ (NCES) Education Longitudinal Study to investigate the importance of parental configuration on educational attainment. Findings show that (1) parental configuration had no impact; (2) though analyses were conducted separately for males and females, no major gender differences were found; and (3) for the final/full models, public schools mattered for female students, while parental social capital and socioeconomic status mattered for both female and male students
